NationalConstruction Work on Kiyani Road Bridge in Bhara Kahu to Begin Soon

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The long-awaited construction work on a new Kiyani Road bridge in Bhara Kahu area of Islamabad may go underway soon, which will also provide an alternative route for motorists to pass through the area whilst the flyover over the newly renamed ‘Srinagar Highway’ will be built.

The existing bridge – which serves as a junction point to link Kiyani Road with Shahdara Road – is on the verge of collapse; therefore, according to an Official, a new two-lane bridge parallel to the already existing bridge will be built.

The Official told the Dispatch News Desk (DND) news agency that the groundbreaking of the bridge is expected by mid-October 2020.

Earlier this year, the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmaker from NA-53 Constituency under whose jurisdiction Bhara Kahu falls promised to the local dwellers that a four-lane flyover on main Murree Road – now renamed as Srinagar Highway – as well as a Kiyani Road bridge will be built apart from other infrastructure development.

However, after the flyover went under the Public-Private Partnership mode, now the project has been delayed for a year but the construction of the new Kiyani Road Bridge is very likely to begin soon.
